Meetings

Imaging techniques for Particle Characterisation,
Date: 17^th June 2010
Venue: Donington Park Farmhouse Hotel, Melbourne Road, Isley Walton, Nr Castle Donington, Derby DE74 2RN
It is envisaged that engineers or scientists engaged in challenging particle characterisation applications be they from research or development will draw benefit from the meeting. Significant advances have been made in cameras, lighting and computer techniques benefiting the field of particle characterisation. This one day meeting seeks to inform of the latest apparatus available together with descriptions of a broad spectrum of applications demonstrating the growing penetration of imaging techniques. A number of equipment suppliers will provide a table top presentation. A display of poster presentations will be welcome. The venue is very conveniently located just off the M1 and M42 and just 3 miles from East Midlands Airport. There is copious free parking. Nearest train stations: Loughborough (9 miles), Derby or East Midlands Parkway .

PSA 2011 Conference and Exhibition

Dates: To be Confirmed,
Venue: Edinburgh, UK.

This 11th Particulate Sysytems Analysis conference, organised by the Particle Characterisation Interest Group of the RSC, follows on from the successful conference and exhibition held in Stratford upon Avon in September 2008. The venue chosen for 2011 is a modern, well-appointed Hotel within walking distance of the centre of the historic city of Edinburgh, the capital city of Scotland.
